Squawkatiel Madness returns!

It's that time of year again! Flight of the Squawkatiel presents the 3rd annual Squawkatiel Madness! In honor of NCAA's March Madness tournament, 64 of the most played artists of the past year on my show will go head to head in battle and you, the listener, will decide who moves on in each round!

In the two previous years, you chose Beach House and Sigur Ros as your Squawkatiel Madness champions! Neither of those bands are in this year's tournament, so this year you will crown a brand new winner!

The madness begins this Thursday, March 12th! Voting will open for the artists on the left side of the bracket below, and I will do a special show with music from every artist competing for your vote that week. Whoever receives the most votes in each match will move on to the second round.

Below you can view the tournament bracket, or you can view a more readable but less fancy version at http://challonge.com/squawkatiel2015 

Follow this page, Facebook, or Twitter for updates on Squawkatiel Madness! Spread the word to get the vote out for your favorite bands - #SquawkatielMadness
